I think it will be wiser if she releases 2 singles at the same time and pushes the one that sticks with the gp 

what if neither does?

Also, I am kinda confused now as I was in 2019 - why she didn't release the lead single (as NRO back then) while Idol was airing, so she could actually perform it there?

That era was a whole mess from the beginning, she just got out the witness hate train , no one was checking on her or interested and depression was kicking her ass , she was over the music industry overall , the singles were flopping left and right, i mean i don't blame her for throwing everything away and not giving a single f about anything 

personally i dont like double singles releases, i want her to release a lead then see how it does and:

 

A) if the lead is somehow successful then drop the album ASAP

B) if the lead is flopping hard then release another single with an A lister to generate hype and THEN release album ASAP

Than she will unfortunately become a throwback cause to be honest this era is lowkey her last chance, her image is kinda clean , her Spotify and streams are doing fine , if nothing smashes this era it only means that no one is interested in new katy material

I would like at least 2, maybe even 3 singles before the abum. I just want an ERA again. Eras are kinda dead after the album drops nowadays. On the other hand, people probably aren't interested enough in Katy to check out the album, so she can release singles after the album release.

I fear our second fave won't be able to give Katy a hit this era..

There was still anticipation when NRO came out. In my humble opinion, what killed that era was, when after NRO got pretty positive response, Katy went all out saying 'oh, album is no ready, I have a different strategy right now with testing singles'. You can't do that when you are veteran artist. Even if your last album didn't met expectations, you are still ******* Katy Perry.

 

But yeah, you are right she was at tough position at that time, and it is pretty great she had a courage to talk about that publicly.

 

Luckily, she seems in good position now!

I always thought her team and her were no really convinced with NRO performance. imagine if they would have known what was coming after lol

That's exactly what she did with her last album familia

Maybe a surprise drop on monday would work

not only Camila did that and at least it helped Familia to stay on charts a bit longer cuz Bam Bam did good

 

still, Camila is known for double releases like with OMG/Havana and Shameless/Liar

Well, considering the low demand she has faced in recent releases (Smile), the first single should be already a collab with an a-list artist (as others have done it and their kinda been successed). Some of the ones who got a hit and could help her to gain a new audience of listeners:

 

Jack Harlow

SZA

Kendrick Lamar

Post Malone

Taylor Swift

Billie Eilish 

 

...but she will be forced to push an artist from Capitol and it will probably underperform:

 

Doechii

Ice Spicy

Lil Baby

Troye Sivan

Lil Yachty

Kodak Black

21 Savage

 

Don't Go Yet and Bam Bam being a double release now when they were released 8.5 months apart

 

katy, please give me something today. an announcement, a video, a teaser, something!

Well that makes sense. Ofc now after Smile, NRO looks like massive success, but back in the day they probably hoped/expected it to be a proper comeback single like #1 or at least top 5.

 

It didn't really have good callouts in US and radio djs asked for more chill song which is why Small Talk was released, like imagine playing both ST and HIH to radio DJ and them choosing first one and not play it at all lol... They obviously did it on purpose to sabotage her. 

So when is she announcing?

It makes sense but it also feels stupid, Bon Appetit and Swish Swish peaked at #59 and #46 and they were both pushed as proper singles, they should have been happier with a #15 debut and 10+ weeks on the charts. Moreover, 365 had already flopped by spending only one week on the charts, so I don't know what else did they expect from NRO, it did decent for a KP song in 2019
